Abstract

THE ideal text-book of arithmetic still remains to be written, and the time has not yet come when the ideal book would be a financial success. It will equip the boy or girl with the knowledge of the subject necessary for his other studies and his after-life. It will drop some branches which have in the past had usefulness but are now useless, and it will refrain from dealing with problems the subject-matter of which is outside a boy's experience and unintelligible to him, even if the calculation involved is simple once the subject-matter is understood. The ideal book with our present imperial system of weights and measures will easily be comprised within a hundred pages, and when the imperial system is dropped and the metric system becomes general the length will be further reduced.
